MSOE’s Welcome Center has been renovated to provide a contemporary and informative space for current and prospective students, families, and alumni.

The building has an open and welcoming layout, ample natural light and comfortable seating areas, an auditorium for large gatherings, and smaller “Spirit Rooms” for admissions engagement. The lobby features a large, interactive multi-panel display wall that is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy for visitors to navigate and find the information they need. The bookstore and spirit wear shop showcase the latest MSOE apparel featuring mobile display fixtures. Admissions administration offices were also incorporated into the space. The exterior façade, including glazing and terra-cotta tiles, has been updated to improve the building’s appearance.

In addition to its practical resources for the school, the center also serves as a hub for community engagement and outreach, hosting events and activities for the MSOE community and the greater Milwaukee area. For a prospective student, community member or alumni, the Welcome Center is an ideal place to connect, learn, and grow.
